either set them in the environment or pass them as arguments.
but before that you man want to type "man bash" at the prompt to meet a new

proof of concept
[joe.php]
<?php
$var1="hello";
$var2="joe!";
putenv("VAR1=$var1");
system("/home/joe/bin/foo.sh $var2");
[foo.sh]
VAR2=$1
# or VAR2=${1:-not defined} where $1 means the first positional parameter

echo -e "var1: $VAR1, var2: $var2"
